hmmm.. good idea on the coat hanger thing!!! the hose i got is almost new so i dont want to buy another one. how far down in the hose should it go? all the way thru or on either end?
I got the one in my car from Mustang Unlimiteduke:It did fit good
never saw the need for the spring in the newer hoses. have had a spring in any of my hoses for years and have never had a problem.
